[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 158000, member: 3419"] We've got stubborness in both areas, but in the a.m. it's occasionally almost violent. I have to stand back and make sure my difficult child doesn't slug me. We now give him 3 "happy" warnings to wake up. If he does not get up, we do not yell. He stays home from school and email his teacher to request an unexused absence, so he has extra work to do and may have to go to the principal's ofc. That pretty much nips most of it in the bud. At night, he still argues, so we just take away CDs, lights, anything distracting. I have to make sure I take them when he's out of the room or he can be very physical. The rest of the family whines and grumbles but nothing that would set anyone off. [/QUOTE]
